Proper stewardship of Stanford’s lands has been, and will continue to be, essential to the success of the University. Stanford is developing a Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) to establish a conservation strategy for the next 50 years.
Stanford's HCP establishes a comprehensive conservation program that protects, restores and enhances habitat areas; monitors and reports on covered species populations; and avoids and minimizes impacts on species and their habitats. The HCP also provides major new commitments of land protection, personnel and resources dedicated to habitat conservation.

On April 16, 2010, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA Fisheries) published the Draft Stanford HCP and Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) analyzing the potential effects of issuing incidental take permits under the proposed HCP.
Public comment period has been extended 45 days and ended on August 30, 2010.
